    Had one named “FBI Surveillance Van #3”. I know, not so creative even 10-years ago, but read on.

    Guy at the end of the street sold weed. He was telling my neighbor to be on the lookout, there was an FBI van cruising around. Being at the end of the street, my signal faded in and out like it was moving. Dude was freaked the fuck out.

        LOL, you’re even more country-fried than I am! Maybe I should name my mobile spot, “Fish & Wildlife #23”.

      I had one with my countrys version of the “Van”. Then ubiquity had a zero day exploit become public knowledge back then and someone renamed the SSID “NotThePolice”. Didn’t do anything else. Just that.
